Rude Boy

Just a quick programming note: Yesterday I discovered that WordPress had stopped sending me notifications when people filled out the comment form on the About page of this blog. As a result, I completely missed about a year’s worth of really nice comments from people, and came across as rude as a result.

Sorry about that! I’ve checked the settings on here and the spam filters on my email client, and I still can’t tell what’s changed. I’ve replied to a couple over email, so check your own spam filters and/or try contacting me again!

Comments on regular blog posts are still working, and I tend to see them. (If they seem to be stuck without showing up, it’s likely because it includes a link and is being held for “approval” by the anti-spam plugin).

Otherwise, if you want to contact me directly for whatever reason — I still prefer comments on individual blog posts to “live” on the post itself, instead of social media — at the time of this writing I’m more likely to see comments or DMs via my Bluesky account, or my Mastodon account.
